I don't think it's about "whatever works" as much as it is about "whatever is available". There was obviously a wiki already built with PHP that addressed the immediate business needs. What would the ROI be on delaying the launch of the labs site so that a wiki application with the exact same functionality could be built in CF?
The labs site is aimed at developers. As developers, we're always fighting the battle of deadlines (among others). As developers, we should realize in seeing the .php extension that it was simply a matter of utilizing resources efficiently and not reinventing the wheel unnecessarily.
